Seems like Brady is calling his own plays out there. Seems like he's given the packages of players and he goes from there. Looks like it's taking an extra second or 2 for him to scan the players going into the huddle so he knows his options from there.

Of course he calls audibles and changes the plays at the line but I get the sense that they are working on a new system here where he calls the plays. He has called more audibles as he has progressed in his career but I think he's taken over now. I think it's Charlies/Josh's offense that Tom and O'Brien have tweaked so Tom can call the shots now.

Well, in the past we could count on the OC or at least argue with the game plan and plays of the OC. We don't seem to have an offensive strategy, game play or halftime adjustments.

I know I am overstating a venting, but we were seriously outcoached and I miss having competent coaching leadership for the offense.

On the sideline he's looking at the pictures with O'Brien. He's talking to the receivers and O-Line. It seems like he's taking extra time seeing who he has in the huddle. In years past he was more animated between plays. Now it seems like he's working on something ... other than no obvious OC it looks different. Also ... this seems more like Weis's offense than Josh's offense. Just an observation more than an analysis on my part.

Last week I can understand Brady airing it out. Not today. They should have committed to the run. They had the time and the score on both sides was condusive to keep a balanced offensive approach.

For a few years now, probably since Weis left, the power structure that shapes the offensive philosophy has come from quarterbacks coaches (Josh McD, and now the current play caller, whose name I cannot recall). What they are best at is designing plays for Tom. Randy's arrival furthered that approach. (In fact, I was not surprised that Tom lost his season last year catering to the joint needs of Randy's and his. They got greedy once too often).

The team has to get back to a balanced offensive approach. They have competent backs. You cannot run for two or three yards on first down, pass for an incompletion on second down and then be forced to pass on third downs. But this is what has been happening very often lately. We have been punting quite a lot lately. If we are going to punt anyway, might as well get into that situation with 50% or more ground game.

its possible brady is changing the play and calling a pass...you never know whats happening.yes they shouldve run more today. the jets dressed only 4 DT's i think..and have accumulated RB's like jon gruden does with QB's

I'm going to go out on a limb and say those two fancy numbers are likely a counterintelligence measure of some sort. It could be deception or an attempt to circumvent the headset, owing to mistrust of the Jets. The former is more likely in my opinion.

If BB believed running the ball more was the best approach, believe me they would. We carry 3 TE and 5 RB for no other reason I can fathom. Yet it doesn't work so Brady must be calling passing plays to pad his stats...

In another thread someone wondered why other teams have a TE their QB can count on as an outlet. Ours are primarily assistant OLineman for a reason... And still that isn't enough. But it must be Brady calling the plays... What ever else could it be...

I was trying to be a little sarcastic. If Brady was comfortable, if he was in sync this week and last i don't think the play calling would be questioned..........Wait i take that last part back.
